Since my favorite deli in Franklin Park IL closed after 60 years, not really but it was sold and…read morethe new owners are going in a different direction so with empty meat cases the subs must be gone. So I had to find a new Italian deli in the area and this place had an authentic Italian sub on the menu with prosciutto, Genoa salami, capicola, provolone cheese, Italian dressing, lettuce and tomato that I added raw onions, hot giardiniera and mayo. It's a deli/mini mart/gambling machine/cafe with friendly service. The meats were skimpy was my first thought, see my pictures. My first thought after taking the first bite was WOW this Italian hoagie bread was perfect/fresh with that great chew/pull. Even with the skimpy meat the whole combination with me tweaking the sandwich was so fu#king delicious I got a second one to take back to WI for dinner. The area probably has a better Italian deli the residents will tell you but I'm in town once a year so next year I will try another Italian deli until I find one to start a new tradition like my old friend for many years that is no more. My final thought is that the price point is similar to the chain sub restaurants with a high quality sub sandwich and why anyone in the area that goes to a chain with this gem is beyond me because they do an authentic Italian sub very well.

The beef wasn't that great, the peppers tasted like they had been soaking in tomato sauce all day. Meat lacked flavor. BUT the beef isn't the reason for the trip. The breaded chicken sandwich is a banger! Seasoned to perfection. I've had it many times but this was the first time I had it fresh at the store and not delivered.

I got the Italian sub, it came with mortadella, hot capicola, Genoa salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, oil, and vinegar on Italian bread. First bite, I was like yes... this is it. The flavor just hits right, salty, tangy, and a little spicy from the capicola. Bread had that perfect chew, not too soft, not rock hard. Maybe could've been a little toastier but that's just me, but honestly, it was solid. We also got the Turkey Cobb. Roasted turkey, blue cheese, and applewood smoked bacon on thick sourdough with avocado. That one was so good. The blue cheese really stood out, packed a flavorful punch that tied it all together. Portions were generous too, I didn't even finish it all in one go. I'd definitely come back and try the other sandwiches.

Finally made it to try Swansons on Saturday. It's a small spot located between the movie theater…read moreand BBQ joint in hothead heart of La Grange. Although there are no tables, there's a ledge by the window with some stools if you want to "dine in". The guy running the place looked young but was super friendly and seemed genuinely passionate about the deli. He told me they make their meats and soups in store. It was a cold day so I opted for a small size of each of their soils that day- chicken noodle, cream of chicken, and roasted stuffed peppers. Everyone in the family had a taste of each and we all had different favorites so I will conclude that regardless of what you get, you will enjoy it! My husband also had their chicken pesto panini while I split a ham and swim with my son. Good flavors and fresh ingredients. Also excellent proportions. We will definitely be back!

Known solely for its corned beef, I decided to visit Corned Beef Factory because I am always up for…read moretrying different restaurants in the area. It sits among a strip of restaurants along W. Roosevelt Rd. in Maywood that I am very familiar with. Along with endorsements from Yelp reviewers like Lisa P., Stacy P., and Regena K., its 4.6-star rating from over 160+ reviews on Uber Eats provided the assurance I needed for a quality ordering experience. The menu is not particularly vegan- or vegetarian-friendly. As a pescatarian, I was interested in the tuna salad sandwich and the grilled cheese, which were the only two items I could eat. The day I ordered from Corned Beef, I wanted the tuna salad sandwich, but the price just wasn't worth it for me. I chose the grilled cheese instead, which was very affordable compared to the tuna salad. For my grilled cheese, I ordered it on Italian white bread with Thousand Island dressing, which made my mouth salivate at the thought of the pairing. Whether using Grubhub or Uber Eats, I love ordering online for the convenience and the ability to schedule a pickup time. Most of the time, my orders are ready--or nearly ready--upon arrival. By the time I reached the restaurant, my order was being finished behind the counter. Because of this smooth experience, the likelihood of me ordering online from this location again is very high. My vision of the interior was totally different from what I encountered while picking up my order. The first thing I noticed was a television off to the side of the counter, which completely took me by surprise. Below it on the wooden accent wall featured a custom sign that read, 'Wall of Fame - The Corned Beef Factory Sandwich Shop - Since 1948,' along with framed media features and reviews. The restaurant appeared clean, and the atmosphere had a nice, calm vibe. There were plenty of tables and seats inside the dining area, which made me regret not dining in. Before walking out the door, a video gambling lounge caught my eye--featuring digital slot machines, gaming chairs, and custom-themed wall murals--which I had no idea existed at Corned Beef. Inside, it featured custom-patterned casino-style carpeting, and a large wall mural depicting a packed casino floor. As for my order, I was very pleased with the appearance of the grilled cheese sandwich, which had the crisp, golden grill markings that paninis are known for. Inside was American cheese paired with Thousand Island dressing oozing slightly from the center, which made my mouth salivate in anticipation. Next to it was the bag of Metro Deli hickory barbecue-flavored, kettle-cooked potato chips I ordered, and a dill pickle spear, two of which I ended up finding inside the takeout container. My taste buds enjoyed the combination of cheese and Thousand Island dressing, which complemented each other so well. It's an unheard-of pairing, but you're hearing it from me: I loved it and will definitely pair them again. After this experience with Corned Beef Factory, I am very open to visiting again and exploring options outside of my usual favorites along Roosevelt Rd. With that said, I am happy to share my endorsement of Corned Beef Factory here on Yelp. Ambiance: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Food: 4/5 | Overall: 5/5 ~ Oh darling, let's be adventurers ~ Thomas G
